Facebook group sees hundreds of offers of help during weather

Visiting bikers have been expressing their gratitude after an island Facebook group dealt with hundred of offers of help overnight.

Those behind the TT & Manx Grand Prix 2023/2024 Helpline group say they saw well over 300 offers from locals to get people out of the bad weather yesterday.

People opened up garages, lofts, homes and  even a horse box to offer shelter as heavy rain and high winds battered the Island.

Today, Island residents have been offering to dry clothing, make cups of tea and allow visitors to get hot showers.
